#diy bass

[scarecrowsforest]

I introduce to the world my two custom creations!!! These two diy basses took me roughly about 3 months to complete of non stop workin on them in my spare time. Went with a ric style control set for my first build and then my own control setup for the second build. Kickass hipshot bridges on both pieces. Both sound great (to me at least) both have their own flavor. Made a bunch of pickguards I’m probably not gonna use learning how to do it just right. Probably not a smart or useful idea but i soldered together clip-ons for the pickups and controls. Inspired by EMGPups. Allows me to switch out and test different pickups and controls as I see fit. Custom wound MMPup and J-Wilkinson Pups on both. Heavily inspired by YouTuber Dan Thompson and his channel Guns and Guitars. Highly recommend anyone interested in DIY to check his videos out.

this is the pcb I layed out for my totem bass fuzz. Its a hybrid germanium/silicon fuzz, with a 2 knob bass/treble tone control.

It must sound pretty good because Ive sold every one I've ever built.

random guitar (and bass) tips; growing pains and ergonomics

Just some info bits I've gathered over time that I would've appreciated when I first started playing guitar.

Disclaimer; I'm not classically trained, nor am I a medical professional.

Don't play for an hour at a time.

It's actually not optimal, at least in my experience. It can lead to recurring or worsening joint pain, especially in the fingers, wrist, and elbow. If you're trying to play for an hour everyday, try to space it out over the course of the day in 15-20 minute chunks.

As a personal note, this is why I hate when my bandmates push for long sets (45 minutes to an hour). It usually puts me out of commission for at least a day. Moreover, I've always gotten bored when watching bands play for longer than 45 minutes; it's around that time that everything starts sounding very samey.

Conserve your joints.

There are so many things you can or have to use your joints for. If you're trying to practice guitar on any given day, consider the amount of work you need to do that heavily utilizes your joints; common examples include typing, writing, washing dishes, folding laundry, video games, drawing, etc.

This also extends to the joints in your back and legs; if you spend a long portion of your day standing/sitting, consider doing the opposite while practicing to avoid overexertion.

Play through (some of) the pain!

Soreness on the pads of your fingers is to be expected, especially when you are first learning guitar. This is pain that you can play through, if you choose to.

Hand/finger cramps are usually a good sign to stop, as is joint pain. If these kinds of pain are recurring despite efforts to avoid them, consider and experiment with the ergonomics of how you are playing; examples of adjustments you might make are guitar strap length, strap positioning, the way you sit/stand (get some lumbar support!), the angle at which you pick, the way you hold a pick, pick thickness, string gauge, chords/licks/songs you play, and even the instrument itself.

Parting notes

In my opinion, playing guitar should be fun and comfortable, not painful. Experiment; try a new pick thickness, even if you've been using the same kind for years, or that new guitar with a tummy cut. Moreover, remember that learning to play an instrument doesn't have to be a race; practice 15 minutes a day, every other day, or even once a week and you will see progress.

If you have any suggestions/additions/arguments, please feel free to add.

i could talk about these for HOURS, they're all my effects pedals!! i haven't fully tapped into all of them but i've been doing a lot of recording lately so i'll probably make some pretty noises with all of them some day in the near future :>

the first picture's order is all wonky because that's the order i have the pedals in the chain

1. EHX' Mel-9 (Mellotron emulator)

2. Alexander Pedals' Defender (OD/DST/FZ)

3. TC Electronic's Grand Magus (RAT similar)

4. Behringer's Noise Reducer (i use mostly as a mute when tuning)

5. TC Electronic's Afterglow (chorus)

6. Donner's Mod Square II (16 modulation in a mini casing)

7. TC Electronic's Hall of Fame 2 (digital reverb)

8. EHX' Oceans 12 (dual digital reverb/delay)

9. homemade JHS Little Black Box copy (1 setting buffer)

---not on the board---

10. TC Electronic's Sub'n'Up (octave)

11. Proco's RAT (distortion/fuzzish?) this one gets put back on the board every now and the

12. Dunlop's Crybaby (wah-wah)

13. Danelectro's Dan-Echo (echo/delay)

14. Joyo's Wow-Wah (auto-wah)

18. BOSS' RBF-10 (rack mount flanger)

19. Danelectro's EStudio Honeytone E-15 (my dad's headphone amp from the mid-late '90s, not really a pedal but it can sorta be)

secret 20. 1-Spot Pro (power supply under the board, also not really a pedal but it's essential for the rig)

the shoegazer tap dancing on all those thangs

I can't get enough of my buddy @tomgibson3783's '68 Paisley build. The finish by @greatlakescustomcolour is just spectacular.

Oh and the 1968 #Traynor#BassMate in original and super clean condition is awesome too.
